        I suggest you go back and re-view the video with Jim Coleman Sr, =
and George Defebaugh. Mr. Defebaugh will show you how to tune the =
temperament 33% sharp using the single strings, and stretching the =
octaves as you go up. Mr. Coleman will show you how to do it with one of =
the early Accu-tuners. Since the time of the tape, the SAT has been =
upgraded a lot. Depends on your methods as to how you plan to accomplish =
a pitch raise.=20

    As to the first part of your question; I do a pitch raise any time =
to piano is four or more cents flat. I may not always charge the =
customer if it's that close, but as George Defebaugh used to say, " It's =
better to quickly tune a piano twice, than it is to struggle with it =
once." =20
    Believe me, from experience I know it's true.=20

    If you really want to learn the best way to do pitch raises with a =
SAT 2 or 3, write me privately. I've got it down pat.=20

  Subject: Pitch Raise Questions


  I am currently a Randy Potter student with some questions about pitch
  raising.  When I measure the pitch of A4 with my SAT III, how low (in
  cents) should it be for me to need to perform a pitch raise?  Also, =
when
  performing a pitch raise, is it better to raise only the single =
strings
  all the way up, or should I raise all of the strings of each note as I
  go?

  Thanks,

  Don Palmire
